Bull: timeout option not works as expected

[raminious]

Hey

queue.add({
    id,
    url
  }, {
    attempts: 1,
    timeout: 5 * 1000,
    removeOnComplete: true,
    removeOnFail: true
  })

process file

module.exports = async function (job) {
  console.log('WAIT ', new Date() )
  await delay(20 * 1000)
  console.log('RESUME ', new Date())
  console.log('I dont expect to see this message')
}

It throws

TimeoutError: operation timed out
    at afterTimeout (/opt/node/savevideobot/downloader/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/timers.js:46:19)
    at Timeout.timeoutTimeout [as _onTimeout] (/opt/node/savevideobot/downloader/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/timers.js:76:13)
    at ontimeout (timers.js:365:14)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:237:5)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:207:5)

But I expect it fails and doesn't continue after delay. am I right ?

not really. There is no way, that I am aware of, where a running function can be "cancelled". What happens is that the job is failed, but whatever is processing in the process function will continue to be executed.

In order to support real cancellation, other more advances approaches are needed, like using threads that can be killed if they exceed a given time etc. Check this issue: https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull/issues/479
